So, you're saying that by explicitly stating the directory names in the included files list, it runs faster? It might be the codepage/character set the Windows boxes are installed with differs from the backup server, maybe?
Out of curiosity... Do these clients have any folders with thousands of files in them? Traditionally, FAT32 has horrible performance in these directories, so much so that copying them can be tens to hundreds of times slower than the device's capability, due to the file system overhead of finding the inode corresponding to the filename. Their long filename support is pretty nasty and bloated. From memory, a directory of mp3's with lots of characters in each name is my worst case, and it has about 4000 files in it. It's very slow just to pull up a directory listing of it. NTFS is better in this regard, but I'm not going to say "good".
